84 Muddled Through
When mama Le heard that Le Wan had been hit in the head, she immediately said nervously,
âIs it serious? Let me see. Should we go to the hospital for a checkup?â As she spoke, she moved to take off her hat.
Le Wan obediently let her take off her hat, revealing the medical tape inside. She was still complaining,
âIt hurts so much. You know how serious it is to hit a personâs head, so I naturally had to take it seriously. So, I rushed to the infirmary and asked the doctor to take an X-ray for me.â
When she saw that mama le was going to remove the tape again, she tilted her body and quickly avoided it.
âMom, you canât remove it yet. Iâve applied medicine inside.â
Mama Le stretched out her hand.
âThe wound is so big? Let me see if itâs serious.â
âItâs not serious. Itâs just a red mark. I applied some ointment and it looked ugly, so I asked the nurse for gauze to cover it up.â Le Wan quickly showed her the results of the X-ray.
Mama Le only felt at ease after she confirmed that she was fine. When she turned around, she saw that Le Wan had put on her hat again. She was even tidying up her clothes in front of the mirror while acting smug. She didnât seem to have any major problems.
However, Mama Le was still not satisfied with her daughterâs sudden appearance.
âYour teacher is too careless. Itâs not like Mingcheng doesnât have money or a venue, so why did they arrange for so many classes to be squeezed together? No, I have to report the situation to your school.â
Le Wan quickly stopped her.
âMom, there are eight venues in the stadium and we only have three classes. How can it be crowded?â
Mama Le didnât agree with her.
âNot crowded? Then how could the ball hit the outside of the field and specifically hit your head?â
Le Wan wanted to say,
âHow did I know I was so unlucky?â However, she could not tell Mama Le that, so she only said,
âYou know that balls roll around and are hard to control. accidents are inevitable when you play. donât be so nervous, okay?â
However, Mama Le suddenly started to make a conspiracy theory.
âThat male student, did he hit you on purpose? Baby, do you have a grudge against that person? Did he love you but canât get you, or did you steal his girlfriendâs limelight? Or perhaps, he just wanted to attract your attention and create an opportunity for the hero to save the beauty?â
âStop, stop!â Le Wan hurriedly stopped Mama Leâs mind from wandering. âIt was really just an accident.â
Not hearing a more interesting answer, Mama Le sat back down with waning interest. She proceeded to pick up the unfinished magazine.
âAlright, then go and change your clothes first. Iâll call you for dinner later.â
Mama Le knew that her daughter had been focusing on her studies recently. she would spend all her free time on her studies when she got home, so she wouldnât bother her with other things.
Le Wan secretly made a hand gesture behind her back to celebrate her success. Then, she asked,
âWhen will daddy and the others come back?â
âYour father took your brother to attend a business forum. After that, they have to attend a celebration. Theyâll probably only be back by midnight.â Mama Le explained.
âAs for your second brother, they said that he brought an artiste from overseas to attend a film award ceremony, so heâll only be back tomorrow or the day after.â
As for the youngest brother, Le Xuan, the two of them ignored him. After all, he was only a middle school student. He couldnât go anywhere and could only stay at home.
Le Wan made another hand gesture behind her. She only needed to get past Mama Le today. So, she went upstairs happily and returned to her room.
She didnât know that after she went up, Mama Le put down the magazine and called the school doctorâs office.
Her daughter grew up and became more sensible. She knew how to tell the good news and not the bad news, but her acting was still a little bad. Her sigh of relief and happiness was too obvious. when Mama Le saw her like this, she felt even more heartbroken.
However, her daughter was already 18 years old and had her own opinions. She was no longer willing to let the couple interfere too much in her Affairs. Mama Le and Papa Le had discussed it in private. Although they couldnât bear to let their child fly away, they couldnât stop her. Otherwise, it would easily cause the childâs rebellion and push their daughter further away.
Therefore, they decided to respect their daughterâs wishes and slowly let Le Wan make her own decisions and deal with them on her own. However, behind her back, they still had to take care of her.
